Key element of being TL is to utilize the terms *good to go,* *alright,* *listen up,* and *hooah* at minimum eight times more than absolutely necessary.
my old platoon Cmdr always lectured us "We aim to fight with James Bond style tech...but we are trained and prepared to fight like Civil War infantry" he was huge on having us all intimately familiar with primitive types of living in the field, and primitive Bushcraft survivial techniques that the regular basic bootcamp just didnt teach. I think his biggest fear was technology failing on a massive scale and us guys being kinda hindered by a lack of old school soldiering skills.
Exactly what should be taught. All the new stuff has to be added ON TOP OF the old stuff which has to be learned first. If SHTF and you're literally on your own, you would not need technology to save yourself.
I apologize everyone if your comment does not immediately pop up. I was messing around with the UA-cam comment settings and now this video requires me to approve every comment prior to it being posted. I've changed the settings but it is still requiring me to approve each one. Please bare with me on this and I will approve your comments asap. Thanks.
i have a question if you have not already covered it, so on a night time patrol op, what kind of weapon set up should be used in a scenario like that? also at minimum price, since alot of "night sights" can be quite expensive. i only ask because i have a hard time imagining, being able to see my sights or my target for that matter in a almost pitch black scenario. i have high power weapon mounted flash lights, but i feel they can do more harm than good especially in a long range fight. Also if there is no real set up, what tactics should be used? is it a pray and spray thing? lol
We use a PEQ variant laser in conjunction with our NVGs to engage targets at night. An alternative to that would be a Night Vision optic mounted on your weapon during the night time.
Something to add re: patrol pack contents. I kept at least 4 pairs of extra socks with me in Panama & Honduras, plus the ones on my feet. If you roll them up like you would for your wall or foot locker, you can get two pair into a quart size ziploc bag. When I changed socks, I'd attach the ones I took off to my ruck to dry them out (if the weather cooperated). The ziploc freezer bags are best, they're a heavier plastic than the regular ones. Good info, thanks for posting!
Thanks, and I concur, extra socks are a must. Thanks for your input, I use freezer bags a lot as well. Not just for clothing items but for things like notebooks and other misc items, very useful piece of cheap gear.
This is an excellent video, as are many of the others you made. I would, however, make two respectful comments: First, I'm not sure who your target audience is, so forgive me if that changes this, but you should emphasize that your people need to get uniform weapons. To the extent possible, all rifles should use the same ammunition, and, if possible, magazines. Otherwise, your logistics problems on patrol can be severe; you may have enough ammo for the AR platforms, but if the guy with the AK is trigger happy and expends all of his, he is now useless for the rest of the operation. Constantly sharing out ammo at every long rally point and after every action is a crucial part of patrolling. Second, this video covered some good topics, but you need another one to talk about the process of patrolling. You should cover topics such as: Warning orders; mission planning using METTTs; Op orders using SMESC; rehearsal/sand tables; inspections; leaving and reentering the FEBA; route rally points; route double-back ambushes; patrol bases (and what you do in them); frag orders; leader's recons; actions at the objectives (emphasizing the differences between raid and recon patrols); IAD's (not IED's); and all the other myriad things troopers need to make patrolling work. Command and signal at the Objective is *so* important, and something many people overlook. Keep up the good work.
While in the Ukrainian Army in Donbass 2018 I had the choice of an AK74U or AK74, I chose the AK74 for increased range capability. In addition I carried my own rocket bag. More organized units have the assistant rocket carrier/loader.

24:00 "You can always tell an old soldier by the inside of his holsters and cartridge boxes. The young ones carry pistols and cartridges; the old ones, grub." - George Bernard Shaw
Small point of clarification; In a 70s era Warsaw Pact 8 man mechanised rifle squad, the RPG gunner was issued a PDW type weapon like a Vz.61 Skorpion or some such as well. He had an assistant with carbine and extra rockets, whereas the RPK guy did not have an assistant. The primary purpose of the RPG gunner was defensive overwatch against armoured counter assault. Only on the squad leaders direction would he deploy it offensively against say a building or something. Usually, the BMP cannon was preferred for that task instead. Great video guys, keep them coming!
+Brent0331 No problem, and thanks again for not sacrificing content for the sake of brevity. Good, clear explanations and reasoning along with visual demos are extremely helpful when trying to read the old field manuals and trying to make some sense of them. :) I have one question; is it true that when firing the RPG thru a crosswind you have to adjust windage *in the direction of the wind* rather than against it, or was that disinfo spread by the CIA? I couldnt find any manuals on this subject in Czech or Polish and I cant read those damn Cyrillic moon-runes :p Thanks!
Thank you guys for making this video. It really helps explain it to new ROTC members, new military members, and the responsible American Patriot. These are skills everyone should have regardless of their profession. I wish there was more like minded people in my AO. Thank you for your service and keep up the great work! God bless.
Yes he's doing a great service, and I believe in the spirit of the 2A every able bodied citizen should know this stuff (sadly most never will in the current soft society.)
Thank you for your Service. As a civilian who don't know anything I learned like you have no idea. Thank you your videos are very educational to mi. Thank you. and God bless the USA.
Quickly becoming my fav channel. Love the content. Hell, if you were in central FL I'd volunteer to do the camera work...lol. Keep up the good work! Ooh Rah!
Darryl Hopper I know your comment is a year old, but is your offer still on the table? Also what location? I’m not a veteran, and can’t join the military due to my desire to run my business. I have all the gear and train on my own, however I am looking for a group thats not insane and applies tactics to their training.
I'm glad Brent posts these kinds of good informational videos. Very useful knowledge, and very applicable to real life. Thank you for taking the time to make videos of this nature.
It's because the camera he's using has automatic audio gain control turned on, it boosts the audio when there's low/no sound, and it also generates a crappy buzzing/white noise effect on the low end, it could also be how he's encoding the videos when he goes into post-production, maybe even a funky issue with UA-cam's crappy upload system.
Great information. Even at home, there are very applicable skills regarding kit load out. In natural disaster situations, maybe only lasting a day or two, being able to make knowledge based decisions about keeping small food sources and basic first aid and medical equipment is a fantastic skill to practice.
Great film Devil dog, if you haven't already, could you post a large squad movement training film? What would be cool to see is a helmet cam perspective of each element in the squad especially how they relay the hand signals. -Semper Paratus
Kickin it old school 0300! Next is breach and clear a mine wire obstacle, enter clear a trench, react to contact and break contact, might as well go down the list of battle drills! brings a tear to my 11B eye and reminds me how utterly useless this stuff felt when walking through training areas for hours on end, until we actually went down range and it all clicked! Love to see it brother keep it up!
Excellent information, thank you very much. I want to work private security and have no LE or military experience, I appreciate you providing this for free
Man this is super freakin valuable information. There may be others who have done this but i haven't seen them, thanks for this tutorial sir. We definitely need more responsibly armed citizen riflemen that are infantry capable, this is the type of info that we'll need for that.
Great video! As we get closer to November when the zoos start granting paroles and all the half wit, peaceful protesters come out to REALLY play, I've set you and your videos up on a separate file here on the computer so I can catch all of the videos and return to my favs whenever I need to. I just received a copy of Ernes Emerson's "The 7 Strategies of Hand-To-Hand Combat. As a Police Officer and Park Ranger for 33 years, rarely in our training was Strategies ever covered. The only strategies I knew and incorporated into my plans in any situation, was from battling wild land fires as a volunteer with two agencies back when I was younger and fearless. As I've stated before, I'm an older dog now; so, these videos are really important to me. Keep it up and I'm off to Part 2!
good stuff. it is important that the patrol leader ensures each man's IFAK is in the same location on each man's gear so that his teammates can find it to use quickly.
Great job. Great info. A little more than I need regarding the fire power, since all my stuff is .58 cal. muskets. But, on the subject of carbines, I do have a .58 cal Mucketoon, which, in 1863, was considered a carbine! Thanks mainly for the discussions regarding carried gear. That is extremely important for me as I never got to serve. Grew up Navy. Daughter in the Army in Trashcanistan, Son-in-Law in the Marines. Me, no. Too dumb for the Naval Academy, 4F when drafted by the Army ('73), enlisted Navy and our group called down and cancelled (Oct. 74). Too old for Granada, yada, yada. So, I'm appreciating now, the training I never received. Oorah!
Your vids are great brother! Please keep em coming when your able... Thank you for your continuing service to our country... Much peace and many blessings
ALICE clips can dig into your skin & snag on clothing, gear and other crap... plus, they can inadvertently open up... use Tactical Tailor SHORT MALICE CLIPS. They hold locked and allow for sliding depending on stresses where ALICE will unlock or bind. Love these tutorials! BTW, a suggestion... take the first minute of each tutorial to give a preview of what's in the video... might streamline what the viewer will watch and if it's relevant to his or her needs.
I have to say I'm very impressed with your content (started off by watching the "combat resupply" vid a few days ago) You sir, have got yourself a new subscriber ! XD Greeting from Czech Republic :)
Awesome video, I just stumbled upon this video & your channel, after watching this whole vid I had to sub. Thanks for sharing this info with us & look forward to working my way thru all your vids to gain more awesome knowledge.
Same things changed in the Army as well. We had Asymmetric Warfare Group guys square us away in theater. The team leader no longer had the 203. We also had the most experienced guy in each team carry the SAW. We experienced pretty big changes in our effectiveness that way. No longer was the team leader busy trying to drop 40 mm on target and have the new guy carrying the heavy shit lol
+50 Stitches Steel lol yup. Same exact thing for us brother. We had Marines that were pawning the SAW off on the newest least experienced guy in the fireteam. In The Marine Corps the Automatic rifleman is supposed to be the second most senior man in the team, in other words if the TL is killed he's got the team. That problem may have been fixed since we have supplemented the SAW with the IAR.... We'll see.
It's quite funny and bewildering how diferent aproach these two guys have. The big one straight to the point, no crap, no gimmicks, really basics resenting anything else than ammo and water. The small guy seems a seller of survival/military crap carrying the full catalog.
The different approaches have varying usefulness depending on where you're operating, how many people are in your unit, what your logistics situation is, whether you are a regular or irregular, etc. The second guy's approach is more civilian/militia friendly, in that these people would not be able to count on the kind of logistics support someone in the big army would have in the field. Therefore, additional survival equipment is likely to be far more important.
I'm balling on a major budget when it comes to my kit right now so I started piecing together an Alice kit like yours and wile I was searching I found ALOT of old pictures of LRRP teams, marine recon teams and all manner of special operators using chicom chest rigs for quick access mags along with there GI ammo pouches, I got one and it works wonders if recommend it for additional ammo carry compactly if you want a little more wupass in your kit, snip the tops a little and add more cordage to the loops and you can fit 10 30 round AR mags, I got 8 and a radio in mine
I use packaging tape to laminate paper maps. I use a windshield foil reflective shield as a ground or hammock insulation mat. Gorilla tape some paracord to the top to secure it to the top end of the hammock to keep it from sliding down, or to tie it closed when rolled up. Spray paint one side. As temps go lower, I carry the next appropriate layer. Warmer days, cool nights, cashmere thin wool sweater. Colder nights thin wool thermals. Cold days wear thermals, carry sweater, fleece gator, fleece hood and gloves. Always have watch cap. Always have tabs for GI Natik stove as backup. Primary stove 1 or 2 Swiss m71 sterno gel type stove. I wear a camo balaclava rather than paint. Spandex is thin and breathes. I use a woobie that has a zipper sewed in to allow my head to pass through to wear it with my poncho. I just bought from SOL their new non crinkle sounding reflective energy blanket that will also have a head slit and will be safety pinned the the woobie. So the poncho- woobie- SOL E blanket allow me to use it as a Ranger roll, wear it as a sleeping shelter, construct an Alpha shelter, or a blind 2-3 ft above you to prevent thermal detection. Of course the poncho is multipurpose. I really liked you guys breaking down your kit. I decided to not have a camel back because a bladder can be used in a small day pack. They day pack would be for squad gear or collect resources. I attached a one point attachment to the shoulder strap with a quick detach buckle to the butt end of my stock rather than wear a sling. I carry the sling if needed. The one point attachment allows hand free op of other tasks whether standing or when taking a knee. I really like your vids.
I may be the only one to notice, but your camera is making a tapping sound in this video. Just trying to help if you didn't notice. Great video! Semper Fi
I had to film the first part of the video with an older camera. Unfortunately when these Sony Handicams get old they start making noises which get picked up by the audio.
So, that morning I had left my camera at home. All I had was an older camera at the time. Had to use that until my wife could bring my newer camera out. The clicking is from an older tape style camcorder.
@@Brent0331 Oh wow a camcorder ! That's an antique lol . Surprised it works . Good job you kept it around though , it came in handy . Have a good day eh !
Thinking about the butt pack, if you have a long range gun you can use that bag to fill space under your firing arm like between your knee and your elbow if you're firing up against a barricade for instance.
Good Stuff. Randomly stumbled onto video one and am still here... one thing I would add during the creek crossing around minute 57 is some form of communications. That last man to cross needs to know when its his turn. If there is a squad crossing, he shouldnt have to count how many crossings he heard. Second to last guy needs to tap him and let him know he is next.
btw, can't believe the Russians are barely using the RPKs anymore. That capability to use the magazines from anyone in the squad combined with Kalashnikov's legendary simplicity and reliability is something that sets them apart from most support guns.
+Brent0331 the RPK is not in the Russian Army anymore, it was replaced by squad-level PKM / PKP teams, in a very controversial decision about a decade ago. Before that, they used to have RPKs at squad level and a PKM at platoon level.
Brent, I just found your channel and I'm really digging your patrolling vids. I own a small farm and would like to build a couple of OP's. Could you do a video on building an OP? Oh and I also subscribed, great work!
Speaking towards the maps. My wife makes fun of me because to this day I laminate everything for the exacts scenario you mentioned. It’s funny, until you are the one without soggy papers and maps.
Great video, ThankYou for sharing. Just one thing to think about: binoculars are good but have twice the weight of a similar monocular. I only say this because of my experience in military and civilian (backpacking/hunting) environments. Estimating distance has not been a problem in either environment.
I'm guessing it's a preference. When I was in tactical movement without plates was basically forbidden, and I've never even seen a deployment vid of anyone outside the wire not wearing it... A lot of times it is driven by military politics as much as practical considerations. No officer wants to be the one to take heat because one of his guys got killed while he wasn't wearing his plates.
@@tackytrooper it's still forbidden to take your plates out some guys do it anyways though. They definitely don't announce it when they do either. It gets real hot. 👿🔥🔥🔥
+Brent0331 just picked up a case of mres. case A and packages in 2013. i go to boring surplus in oregon. by mt hood where i live in the national forest. where i make my outdoor videos in the mountains. peace. i love alice and molle. i got a molle pack and a alice pack. and both types of gear etc. i love gear. doing drills. never was in the army but always loved it. dont survival on national tv once. did bujinkan ninpo and budo taijutsu. basically i did ninja and samurai arts most my adult life. so i have tons of those kinds of videos. but i love modern combat and tactical training. survival. just as much. peace.
Great video Brent0331, I just wanted to comment on rain gear. Growing up around the great lakes it often rains alot, I have found ponchos make tons of noise from rain drops plus snag brush and flap in the wind. They do however make great shelter, emergency sleeping bag or stretcher to carry someone wounded. It is because of this I often carry my rain jacket and pants besides and use the poncho for the above mentioned. Any thoughts on this? And keep up with the good work.
Of course! He did also mention to pack keeping the terrain & seasons in mind. But definitely something like a compact even disposable poncho would have multiple uses. *Always* pack items that have many uses :) i would definitely add a bandana to the list, you can use it for so MANY things!
when I was in the corps we only had ALICE. do you miss the lack of PALS when using ALICE? seems MOLLE can put gear in handy places, duct tape only goes so far.
+fried rice Sometimes man, in my opinion though, the reality is everyone generally puts there pouches in the same general spots. OR.... your command comes out with a gear SOP that states where everything HAS to go on your gear. So in hindsight I wonder how much money is spent on all this Modular equipment when it all has to be set up the same way anyways. A perfect example of that is our current issue main pack. We have this big high speed coyote main back with molle webbing all over it. EVERYONE has to have the external pouches attached in the same spots for gear uniformity. The pack ultimately ends up looking like an old ALICE ruck, so I wonder why were wasting so much money on this high speed MOLLE ruck that cost 20X as much as an old Surplus ALICE Ruck. I'm generally happy with the gear we issue currently. The New Marine Corps plate carrier is superb. However, I still wear an alice cartridge belt around my waist that contains my dump pouch, NVG bag, and other misc items.
Plate carrier is way after my time. At P.I. we were issued that canvas two piece Korean war crap. This was in 76! Seems like the Corps always got the shit the army threw away. On Okinawa my Lt would dumpster dive at night at the army base because the tools they threw out were better than what we were issued. Heart, training and conditioning more than makes up for brand new gear. Good kit does make life easier tho. Semper Fi.
Jungle, compass and paces. I always have a compass on me even to this day when I go hunting even though i have a gps watch and gps. I use it all the time, and its attached to my person. At night in an lup, set escape bearing and give rv location.
Good videos although my gear loadout is utterly different (molle everything, I hated the alice stuff we had to use in training.) I still find the videos useful for the concepts and lesser-discussed techniques that usually get glossed over in training/left to NCOs to informally explain on off time.

+Руз Болтон Thanks brother, I know you have been a subscriber of mine for a while. I appreciate your continued support!
Exactly. Why I watch the infantry guide videos on this channel. Pure realistic info from a real infantry marine.
Key element of being TL is to utilize the terms *good to go,* *alright,* *listen up,* and *hooah* at minimum eight times more than absolutely necessary.
Do not forget about about "dagone freakin"
@@chickensandwich1589 and whatnot
*Check*
*hey guy*
Brent is a marine you meant to say oorahh. Hooah is army dude...
my old platoon Cmdr always lectured us "We aim to fight with James Bond style tech...but we are trained and prepared to fight like Civil War infantry"
he was huge on having us all intimately familiar with primitive types of living in the field, and primitive Bushcraft survivial techniques that the regular basic bootcamp just didnt teach. I think his biggest fear was technology failing on a massive scale and us guys being kinda hindered by a lack of old school soldiering skills.
Sounds like a good Cmdr to me.
Exactly what should be taught. All the new stuff has to be added ON TOP OF the old stuff which has to be learned first. If SHTF and you're literally on your own, you would not need technology to save yourself.
@@visivoo3845 sounds like a normal human being with common sense...

I apologize everyone if your comment does not immediately pop up. I was messing around with the UA-cam comment settings and now this video requires me to approve every comment prior to it being posted. I've changed the settings but it is still requiring me to approve each one. Please bare with me on this and I will approve your comments asap. Thanks.
i have a question if you have not already covered it, so on a night time patrol op, what kind of weapon set up should be used in a scenario like that? also at minimum price, since alot of "night sights" can be quite expensive.
i only ask because i have a hard time imagining, being able to see my sights or my target for that matter in a almost pitch black scenario. i have high power weapon mounted flash lights, but i feel they can do more harm than good especially in a long range fight. Also if there is no real set up, what tactics should be used? is it a pray and spray thing? lol
We use a PEQ variant laser in conjunction with our NVGs to engage targets at night. An alternative to that would be a Night Vision optic mounted on your weapon during the night time.
sweet, ive seen some of those NVG lasers for a fair price, i guess ill be looking into NVG's then, thanks for the info
Can you do a react to ambush video
Brent0331 yeah, any way you could do a reaction to ambush video?
Something to add re: patrol pack contents. I kept at least 4 pairs of extra socks with me in Panama & Honduras, plus the ones on my feet. If you roll them up like you would for your wall or foot locker, you can get two pair into a quart size ziploc bag. When I changed socks, I'd attach the ones I took off to my ruck to dry them out (if the weather cooperated). The ziploc freezer bags are best, they're a heavier plastic than the regular ones. Good info, thanks for posting!
Thanks, and I concur, extra socks are a must. Thanks for your input, I use freezer bags a lot as well. Not just for clothing items but for things like notebooks and other misc items, very useful piece of cheap gear.
This is an excellent video, as are many of the others you made. I would, however, make two respectful comments: First, I'm not sure who your target audience is, so forgive me if that changes this, but you should emphasize that your people need to get uniform weapons. To the extent possible, all rifles should use the same ammunition, and, if possible, magazines. Otherwise, your logistics problems on patrol can be severe; you may have enough ammo for the AR platforms, but if the guy with the AK is trigger happy and expends all of his, he is now useless for the rest of the operation. Constantly sharing out ammo at every long rally point and after every action is a crucial part of patrolling.
Second, this video covered some good topics, but you need another one to talk about the process of patrolling. You should cover topics such as: Warning orders; mission planning using METTTs; Op orders using SMESC; rehearsal/sand tables; inspections; leaving and reentering the FEBA; route rally points; route double-back ambushes; patrol bases (and what you do in them); frag orders; leader's recons; actions at the objectives (emphasizing the differences between raid and recon patrols); IAD's (not IED's); and all the other myriad things troopers need to make patrolling work. Command and signal at the Objective is *so* important, and something many people overlook.
Keep up the good work.
While in the Ukrainian Army in Donbass 2018 I had the choice of an AK74U or AK74, I chose the AK74 for increased range capability. In addition I carried my own rocket bag. More organized units have the assistant rocket carrier/loader.
What ordinance were you carrying? I've seen training videos with the RPG-76 being very popular

The rocket gunner looks like he stabs enemies in their barracks in the dead of night.
and the problem with that is?

Please, never quote a Communist! Not even a witty one!
@@leestevens5546 A useful fact is a useful fact, even if a communist said it.
Small point of clarification; In a 70s era Warsaw Pact 8 man mechanised rifle squad, the RPG gunner was issued a PDW type weapon like a Vz.61 Skorpion or some such as well. He had an assistant with carbine and extra rockets, whereas the RPK guy did not have an assistant. The primary purpose of the RPG gunner was defensive overwatch against armoured counter assault. Only on the squad leaders direction would he deploy it offensively against say a building or something. Usually, the BMP cannon was preferred for that task instead.
Great video guys, keep them coming!
+Orpheus Epiphanes Thank you, excellent reply!
+Orpheus Epiphanes Yes, thanks for your insight brother.
+Brent0331 No problem, and thanks again for not sacrificing content for the sake of brevity. Good, clear explanations and reasoning along with visual demos are extremely helpful when trying to read the old field manuals and trying to make some sense of them. :)
I have one question; is it true that when firing the RPG thru a crosswind you have to adjust windage *in the direction of the wind* rather than against it, or was that disinfo spread by the CIA?
I couldnt find any manuals on this subject in Czech or Polish and I cant read those damn Cyrillic moon-runes :p
Thanks!

Thanks for putting out these videos I'm an NCO and these help me
Thank you guys for making this video. It really helps explain it to new ROTC members, new military members, and the responsible American Patriot. These are skills everyone should have regardless of their profession. I wish there was more like minded people in my AO. Thank you for your service and keep up the great work! God bless.
I appreciate the support, thanks for watching.
Yes he's doing a great service, and I believe in the spirit of the 2A every able bodied citizen should know this stuff (sadly most never will in the current soft society.)
Thank you for your Service.
As a civilian who don't know anything I learned like you have no idea.
Thank you your videos are very educational to mi.
Thank you.
and God bless the USA.
Thanks brother.
Thanks Brent some great info..I also love alice gear I'm old Army. Keep the videos coming!!
So pumped I found this channel. Crazy it took this long for the algorithm to introduce us
lol you know he's a real NCO when he throws in a random "frickin" here and there. Great video as always.
+TBL-TTB lol good point. I'm actually a SNCO though. But probably picked up that habit as a young Cpl for sure.
***** Sorry about that, didn't mean anything by it. Are you an E-7, E-8 or 9?
No problem brother, no offense taken what's so ever. I'm a E-7.
***** Gotcha. Thanks for the great videos, as always.
Is that second guy going on patrol or setting up a new primitive civilization in the woods?
setting up a fob i reckon
Quickly becoming my fav channel. Love the content. Hell, if you were in central FL I'd volunteer to do the camera work...lol. Keep up the good work! Ooh Rah!
Thanks brother.
Darryl Hopper I know your comment is a year old, but is your offer still on the table? Also what location? I’m not a veteran, and can’t join the military due to my desire to run my business. I have all the gear and train on my own, however I am looking for a group thats not insane and applies tactics to their training.
I'm glad Brent posts these kinds of good informational videos. Very useful knowledge, and very applicable to real life. Thank you for taking the time to make videos of this nature.
Sounds like you were getting WW2 era air support at around 17:25. That had to be a radial engine. Lol
is this recorded on an actual film camera? i swear i can hear the casette winding and clicking in there
It's because the camera he's using has automatic audio gain control turned on, it boosts the audio when there's low/no sound, and it also generates a crappy buzzing/white noise effect on the low end, it could also be how he's encoding the videos when he goes into post-production, maybe even a funky issue with UA-cam's crappy upload system.
Sounds like a woodpecker lolz
Great information. Even at home, there are very applicable skills regarding kit load out. In natural disaster situations, maybe only lasting a day or two, being able to make knowledge based decisions about keeping small food sources and basic first aid and medical equipment is a fantastic skill to practice.
Great film Devil dog, if you haven't already, could you post a large squad movement training film? What would be cool to see is a helmet cam perspective of each element in the squad especially how they relay the hand signals. -Semper Paratus
Brent great video. Truly love your video series, you are a premier instructor.
Kickin it old school 0300! Next is breach and clear a mine wire obstacle, enter clear a trench, react to contact and break contact, might as well go down the list of battle drills! brings a tear to my 11B eye and reminds me how utterly useless this stuff felt when walking through training areas for hours on end, until we actually went down range and it all clicked! Love to see it brother keep it up!
Excellent information, thank you very much. I want to work private security and have no LE or military experience, I appreciate you providing this for free
Man this is super freakin valuable information. There may be others who have done this but i haven't seen them, thanks for this tutorial sir. We definitely need more responsibly armed citizen riflemen that are infantry capable, this is the type of info that we'll need for that.
Nice. Excellent videos and lessons. If and when SHTF I want to be in your team. Keep up the excellent work.
Great video! As we get closer to November when the zoos start granting paroles and all the half wit, peaceful protesters come out to REALLY play, I've set you and your videos up on a separate file here on the computer so I can catch all of the videos and return to my favs whenever I need to. I just received a copy of Ernes Emerson's "The 7 Strategies of Hand-To-Hand Combat. As a Police Officer and Park Ranger for 33 years, rarely in our training was Strategies ever covered. The only strategies I knew and incorporated into my plans in any situation, was from battling wild land fires as a volunteer with two agencies back when I was younger and fearless. As I've stated before, I'm an older dog now; so, these videos are really important to me. Keep it up and I'm off to Part 2!
good stuff. it is important that the patrol leader ensures each man's IFAK is in the same location on each man's gear so that his teammates can find it to use quickly.
+Renaissance MarineTV This is true brother, that is a good SOP.
Excellent video mate, brilliant to watch and so much information packed in to one video. Keep them coming buddy!
+Tom Eason Thanks brother.
Great job. Great info. A little more than I need regarding the fire power, since all my stuff is .58 cal. muskets. But, on the subject of carbines, I do have a .58 cal Mucketoon, which, in 1863, was considered a carbine! Thanks mainly for the discussions regarding carried gear. That is extremely important for me as I never got to serve. Grew up Navy. Daughter in the Army in Trashcanistan, Son-in-Law in the Marines. Me, no. Too dumb for the Naval Academy, 4F when drafted by the Army ('73), enlisted Navy and our group called down and cancelled (Oct. 74). Too old for Granada, yada, yada. So, I'm appreciating now, the training I never received. Oorah!
Outstanding information. Thanks for putting in the work to bring us the knowledge. Semper Fi brother.
Your vids are great brother! Please keep em coming when your able...
Thank you for your continuing service to our country... Much peace and many blessings
+yoshi kagetora Thanks brother.
ALICE clips can dig into your skin & snag on clothing, gear and other crap... plus, they can inadvertently open up... use Tactical Tailor SHORT MALICE CLIPS. They hold locked and allow for sliding depending on stresses where ALICE will unlock or bind. Love these tutorials!
BTW, a suggestion... take the first minute of each tutorial to give a preview of what's in the video... might streamline what the viewer will watch and if it's relevant to his or her needs.
I have to say I'm very impressed with your content (started off by watching the "combat resupply" vid a few days ago)
You sir, have got yourself a new subscriber ! XD
Greeting from Czech Republic :)

awsome video. very informative thx for sharing.
Awesome video, I just stumbled upon this video & your channel, after watching this whole vid I had to sub. Thanks for sharing this info with us & look forward to working my way thru all your vids to gain more awesome knowledge.
absolutely love the vids. there's no school like old school! but the clicking sound is driving me nuts!lol
Your videos are awesome dude. I'm glad I found your channel. I'll be tell others and keep up the good work!
+Ironsights I meant "I'll be sure to tell others". Sorry.
+Ironsights Thanks brother, I appreciate the support.
Same things changed in the Army as well. We had Asymmetric Warfare Group guys square us away in theater. The team leader no longer had the 203. We also had the most experienced guy in each team carry the SAW. We experienced pretty big changes in our effectiveness that way. No longer was the team leader busy trying to drop 40 mm on target and have the new guy carrying the heavy shit lol
+50 Stitches Steel lol yup. Same exact thing for us brother. We had Marines that were pawning the SAW off on the newest least experienced guy in the fireteam. In The Marine Corps the Automatic rifleman is supposed to be the second most senior man in the team, in other words if the TL is killed he's got the team. That problem may have been fixed since we have supplemented the SAW with the IAR.... We'll see.
It's quite funny and bewildering how diferent aproach these two guys have. The big one straight to the point, no crap, no gimmicks, really basics resenting anything else than ammo and water. The small guy seems a seller of survival/military crap carrying the full catalog.
The different approaches have varying usefulness depending on where you're operating, how many people are in your unit, what your logistics situation is, whether you are a regular or irregular, etc. The second guy's approach is more civilian/militia friendly, in that these people would not be able to count on the kind of logistics support someone in the big army would have in the field. Therefore, additional survival equipment is likely to be far more important.
tackytrooper I think it’s more, “you don’t need hot food on patrol,” vs. “hell with that give me that hot grub.”
I'm balling on a major budget when it comes to my kit right now so I started piecing together an Alice kit like yours and wile I was searching I found ALOT of old pictures of LRRP teams, marine recon teams and all manner of special operators using chicom chest rigs for quick access mags along with there GI ammo pouches, I got one and it works wonders if recommend it for additional ammo carry compactly if you want a little more wupass in your kit, snip the tops a little and add more cordage to the loops and you can fit 10 30 round AR mags, I got 8 and a radio in mine
Informative and entertaining. Thank you for your service and your videos.
Thanks for another great video, Brent! Awesome for the civ looking for quality information.
+DoulosDefense Thanks bud.
Duder #2 has the Russian Gorka suit. Those things are the shit. The winter insulated Gorkas are really quite nice.
I use packaging tape to laminate paper maps. I use a windshield foil reflective shield as a ground or hammock insulation mat. Gorilla tape some paracord to the top to secure it to the top end of the hammock to keep it from sliding down, or to tie it closed when rolled up. Spray paint one side. As temps go lower, I carry the next appropriate layer. Warmer days, cool nights, cashmere thin wool sweater. Colder nights thin wool thermals. Cold days wear thermals, carry sweater, fleece gator, fleece hood and gloves. Always have watch cap. Always have tabs for GI Natik stove as backup. Primary stove 1 or 2 Swiss m71 sterno gel type stove. I wear a camo balaclava rather than paint. Spandex is thin and breathes. I use a woobie that has a zipper sewed in to allow my head to pass through to wear it with my poncho. I just bought from SOL their new non crinkle sounding reflective energy blanket that will also have a head slit and will be safety pinned the the woobie. So the poncho- woobie- SOL E blanket allow me to use it as a Ranger roll, wear it as a sleeping shelter, construct an Alpha shelter, or a blind 2-3 ft above you to prevent thermal detection. Of course the poncho is multipurpose. I really liked you guys breaking down your kit. I decided to not have a camel back because a bladder can be used in a small day pack. They day pack would be for squad gear or collect resources. I attached a one point attachment to the shoulder strap with a quick detach buckle to the butt end of my stock rather than wear a sling. I carry the sling if needed. The one point attachment allows hand free op of other tasks whether standing or when taking a knee. I really like your vids.
Subscribed! Excellent info. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Salute!

Great information brother, I always look forward to your vids
+Chris Baca Thanks brother.
I may be the only one to notice, but your camera is making a tapping sound in this video. Just trying to help if you didn't notice. Great video! Semper Fi
I had to film the first part of the video with an older camera. Unfortunately when these Sony Handicams get old they start making noises which get picked up by the audio.
I have a question, where do you get your maps? Any specific website?
Cool instructions for civilians that know nothing
Why did you have to call us out like that
I read a lot of comments and I cant believe no one ask , what the hell is that ticking ?!
Real good vid !
So, that morning I had left my camera at home. All I had was an older camera at the time. Had to use that until my wife could bring my newer camera out. The clicking is from an older tape style camcorder.
@@Brent0331 Oh wow a camcorder ! That's an antique lol . Surprised it works . Good job you kept it around though , it came in handy . Have a good day eh !
Another great video. Subscribed.
Good vid brother, getting all motivated again.

good stuff thanks for taking the time to put this together
+Richard Santiago Thanks for watching.
Excellent video Gunny, keep em coming.
Thanks
Is there a reason to use bonoculars instead of a monocular? It seems that the monocular would be half the size and weight.
Is that rifle man patrolling or camping?
Thinking about the butt pack, if you have a long range gun you can use that bag to fill space under your firing arm like between your knee and your elbow if you're firing up against a barricade for instance.
youre videos are alot more realistic and not youtubey in any way. these things are like professionalg funded instructional vids
well I'm on a list now!
Great Video
Thanks
God yes, give me that retro Marine/Army goodness with that grenadier kit. God I love the classics.
Good Stuff. Randomly stumbled onto video one and am still here... one thing I would add during the creek crossing around minute 57 is some form of communications. That last man to cross needs to know when its his turn. If there is a squad crossing, he shouldnt have to count how many crossings he heard. Second to last guy needs to tap him and let him know he is next.
These two….these two give me hope for the future.
btw, can't believe the Russians are barely using the RPKs anymore. That capability to use the magazines from anyone in the squad combined with Kalashnikov's legendary simplicity and reliability is something that sets them apart from most support guns.
+Facundo Corradini Really? I haven't heard that they weren't using them, where did you see that at? Are they replacing it with something?
+Brent0331 the RPK is not in the Russian Army anymore, it was replaced by squad-level PKM / PKP teams, in a very controversial decision about a decade ago. Before that, they used to have RPKs at squad level and a PKM at platoon level.
Interesting. Thanks for the info, and yeah I think they are making a mistake giving up that weapon system if that's the case.
They are using it in the 'Stans, and also Georgia, etc. Plenty of vids of action going on currently, and the RPK is right there.
Funny, us wants to get rid of the m249 and go to iar, where the Russians went from practically an iar to a saw
Brent, I just found your channel and I'm really digging your patrolling vids.
I own a small farm and would like to build a couple of OP's. Could you do a video on building an OP?
Oh and I also subscribed, great work!
Might be something I do in the future brother, thanks for subbing and there will definitely be more to come.
Would you please do a video about comucasions / radios please I'm a ham radio operator a general class radio opator. Thanks
The guy in the middle with the hood over his face is the smart one. I wouldn't want to end up on a watch list.
Wow your camo worked really good there! (y)
Love your videos man keep it up!
Thanks brother.
Speaking towards the maps. My wife makes fun of me because to this day I laminate everything for the exacts scenario you mentioned. It’s funny, until you are the one without soggy papers and maps.
Great video. What does that guy to the right (around 51:35) have around his neck/head?
+Beta Concept It was a shemagh I believe.
***** Gotcha, thanks. Keep up the good work.
Actually I think we were all wearing the same cotton-mesh British type scarves in this vid.
Great video, ThankYou for sharing. Just one thing to think about: binoculars are good but have twice the weight of a similar monocular. I only say this because of my experience in military and civilian (backpacking/hunting) environments. Estimating distance has not been a problem in either environment.
Are you not required to wear your plates and kevlar on longer patrols? or is this just a preference you took once you got out of the marine corps
I'm guessing it's a preference. When I was in tactical movement without plates was basically forbidden, and I've never even seen a deployment vid of anyone outside the wire not wearing it...
A lot of times it is driven by military politics as much as practical considerations. No officer wants to be the one to take heat because one of his guys got killed while he wasn't wearing his plates.
@@tackytrooper it's still forbidden to take your plates out some guys do it anyways though. They definitely don't announce it when they do either. It gets real hot. 👿🔥🔥🔥
great video. tons of great info.
+MOUNTAINOUS Thanks bud.
+Brent0331 just picked up a case of mres. case A and packages in 2013. i go to boring surplus in oregon. by mt hood where i live in the national forest. where i make my outdoor videos in the mountains. peace. i love alice and molle. i got a molle pack and a alice pack. and both types of gear etc. i love gear. doing drills. never was in the army but always loved it. dont survival on national tv once. did bujinkan ninpo and budo taijutsu. basically i did ninja and samurai arts most my adult life. so i have tons of those kinds of videos. but i love modern combat and tactical training. survival. just as much. peace.
A lot of great information
Excellent video. If you have four men in your squad and make contact in any formation, would anyone ever remain disengaged to cover the flank?
Love this channel.
Great video Brent0331, I just wanted to comment on rain gear. Growing up around the great lakes it often rains alot, I have found ponchos make tons of noise from rain drops plus snag brush and flap in the wind. They do however make great shelter, emergency sleeping bag or stretcher to carry someone wounded. It is because of this I often carry my rain jacket and pants besides and use the poncho for the above mentioned. Any thoughts on this? And keep up with the good work.
Of course! He did also mention to pack keeping the terrain & seasons in mind. But definitely something like a compact even disposable poncho would have multiple uses. *Always* pack items that have many uses :) i would definitely add a bandana to the list, you can use it for so MANY things!
Good stuff as usual. Thanks.
+Michael Stone Thanks brother.
1:02:10 the Man with the Scar what Atacs style is that with the tan.

iam learning alot through these videos many thanks. i also have a pace counter there great tools
+MrJuggernaut247 Thanks bud.
Is there any reason why your far side doesn't do a clearance recce on the other side to establish if there's enemy threat?
when I was in the corps we only had ALICE. do you miss the lack of PALS when using ALICE? seems MOLLE can put gear in handy places, duct tape only goes so far.
+fried rice Sometimes man, in my opinion though, the reality is everyone generally puts there pouches in the same general spots. OR.... your command comes out with a gear SOP that states where everything HAS to go on your gear. So in hindsight I wonder how much money is spent on all this Modular equipment when it all has to be set up the same way anyways. A perfect example of that is our current issue main pack. We have this big high speed coyote main back with molle webbing all over it. EVERYONE has to have the external pouches attached in the same spots for gear uniformity. The pack ultimately ends up looking like an old ALICE ruck, so I wonder why were wasting so much money on this high speed MOLLE ruck that cost 20X as much as an old Surplus ALICE Ruck. I'm generally happy with the gear we issue currently. The New Marine Corps plate carrier is superb. However, I still wear an alice cartridge belt around my waist that contains my dump pouch, NVG bag, and other misc items.
Plate carrier is way after my time. At P.I. we were issued that canvas two piece Korean war crap. This was in 76! Seems like the Corps always got the shit the army threw away. On Okinawa my Lt would dumpster dive at night at the army base because the tools they threw out were better than what we were issued.
Heart, training and conditioning more than makes up for brand new gear. Good kit does make life easier tho. Semper Fi.
Great information. Thank you!
+Craig Ellsworth Thanks brother.
Never thought about it before, but civilians can't purchase grenades from your local gun store. Where would you attain grenades?
Jungle, compass and paces. I always have a compass on me even to this day when I go hunting even though i have a gps watch and gps. I use it all the time, and its attached to my person. At night in an lup, set escape bearing and give rv location.
Please talk a bit about PT - And how to stay ready... What drills you do?
Turn off youtube and move fast enough and for a long enough time you puke.. Go
Brent, best company to buy the ALICE gear???
Any surplus store generally has ALICE at a hood price.
Good videos although my gear loadout is utterly different (molle everything, I hated the alice stuff we had to use in training.) I still find the videos useful for the concepts and lesser-discussed techniques that usually get glossed over in training/left to NCOs to informally explain on off time.
Very informative. Thank you.
+MourningConstitution Thanks for watching.
Great video brent, have you ever tried to get your hands on irish dpm and irish desert at all?
Id like to see the reaction of hikers that stumble on this in the woods haha
Depending on where he's at he might have to break contact with the hikers or risk arrest..
tackytrooper Arrest? For what?
